Do you remember the hand pieced stars my MIL started working on earlier this year?
There were many readers who were curious as to how the stars would be joined together as well as numerous requests for a progress report.
It seems she has been very busy hand stitching!
usually on the way to or from her physiotherapist who is treating her for a sore shoulder, neck and arm.
Thanks for sharing, Jan.

I love your blog! In going back and reading your older posts I came across this one and was curious what the next step is. I too have been hand piecing a quilt (see pictures on my blog) since 2001. I finally am close to the right amount of tumbling blocks (i call it my qbert quilt!) however I'm at a stand still as to 'how' i'm going to put it together. I thought about hand stitching all the pieces together for the top, but what quilting would i use that wouldn't distract from the nice 'patchwork' look i'm going for? Also the binding...i 'want' to keep the uneven sides but i'm curious if there would be a down side to binding around all of those corners around the quilt? any advice would be greatly appreciated!
ReplyDeleteI.AM.IN.LOVE
